Super Duper Spaghetti with Beef

We are huge fans of spaghetti at our house; it was (and still is!) always a favorite of both of my picky kids even when they were little…maybe that’s why we started calling it “super duper” — and it stuck! (As you’ll see it the picture, it literally stuck everywhere too! Luckily, since it’s been four years since this pic, they’re a bit neater these days!) At any rate, all the prefab sauces are either way too sweet (yuck!) or just painfully bland – not to mention full of a zillion unnecessary additives and sugars.

My own recipe is almost as fast as opening a jar. Plus you have to wait for the noodles to cook anyway; may as well take those few minutes to throw together this super flavorful, super healthy, super duper version! ~Robin

While noodles are boiling, in a large stock pot, brown the ground beef with the minced garlic. Once cooked, drain any excess oil.

In the same pot, add diced tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.

Add the 6 oz. of water.

Finally, add all the spices. (Add garlic salt 1 tsp. at a time so that you can measure it to your own taste.)

Simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated throughout and flavors have combined well.

Add the sauce to your al dente pasta and enjoy!

*My package of beef was just a little bigger than usual, but the points are the same and all the other ingredients amounts don’t differ if you use exactly one 1 lb of 95% lean beef instead – I just went ahead and used this much since I had it.
